How this number is made
- Source
- GWEC, Global Wind Day 2026: Fast Facts about Wind
“A record US$2.3 Trillion was invested in the energy transition in 2025, up 8% year-on-year according to BloombergNEF.”
- Step 01
Take GWEC’s figure for 2025: US$2.3 Trillion.
- Step 02
Spread it evenly over a year of 31,557,600 seconds (365.25 days): about 72,883 US dollars per second.
- Step 03
Count from 00:00 UTC on 1 January of the current year, so the number resets every New Year.

- The result of those steps, recomputed four times a second in your browser. Nothing on this page is fetched live from the publisher.
- Why this can't be exact
- Real activity is not spread evenly: it clusters in working hours, weekdays and seasons, so the count runs ahead or behind the true figure at any given moment. It runs at the 2025 pace until a figure for the current year is published. Digits beyond the first two or three are the model ticking, not extra precision.
